    Yeah I'd figured you'd say that, but eh, what really are skills in boxing? People act as if when they say skills they are pointing to something tangible when really, they are not.

    Khan is what he is. One of the fastest boxers p4p, very weak chin that world class puncher or pressure fighter has a chance to expose, alright power but not enough to stop or really trouble any world class top fighter at 147lbs but the speed to look great against plodders or people who cannot hurt him.

    Remember the Kotelnik fight? He looked class and people started over rating him.

    All his mistakes were fixed under Roach he was the next p4p star again and then Garcia and Peterson came along and proved he was still the same guy who fought Limond, Gomez and Presscott.

    Could Khan give Mayweather a good fight?

    Yes no doubt, as could Porter, Brook and Pacquiso who are all more deserving contenders at WW. As much as I would love to see Khan beat Brook, I think he gets KO'd vs. a guy who is bigger, stonger, tougher, much more powerful and fast enough to avoid a lot of his shots and get his own off.

    Got to respect the guy, one of the biggest hearts in the game and he can given anyone round his weight something to think about but the best WW or p4p number 1 don't make me laugh.

    I gave a fitting response to your melodramatic post. You mentioned his only two options are Porter or Berto otherwise he'll be sitting on the sidelines. So to answer your question, if that was the case he would be fighting either of the two. Also, you can add Marcos, Frankie Gavin, Tim Bradley, Diego Chavez, Leonard Bundu, Saddam Ali to your list of available welterweights for Khan. I'm certain I've missed a few out, but surely you've got the point. Khans' options aren't limited.

    I hope its Bradley but they need to sign it up so the fight with Brook happens in late June early July before he does his religious things he do

    BIG names? come on you really missed the point. Frankie Gavin? Bundu? you're nuts man. Tim Bradley is about the biggest name in there and even he does terrible numbers. you missed the point! his option for BIG fights which he wants are VERY limited.

    Floyd doesn't want nothing to with Khan .

    Whether people want to hear it or not , Floyd avoided Khan .

    Khan won his poll over Maidana and yet Floyd still chose to fight Chino .

    It was very clear to see and no one can deny that .

    Porter is a stylistic nightmare for Khan :lol:

    Khan would get severely battered and put to sleep in 3 . :tired
